While the repository isn't small, it's not huge (it's http://repo.or.cz/w/egit.git). I've tried the following: $ git diff v0.4.0 > ~/t.diff $ git diff v0.4.0 HEAD > ~/t.diff Both sit indefinitely eating most of 1 CPU $ git fsck Exits quickly with no output. I don't mind going to a newer version of Git, but I'd like to have some idea of the source of the problem before I start trying things. Thanks! John
